Your Camp Host, Chef Üdø, is onsite most days and evenings, and has 30 years' experience in the catering and private chef biz, and as a camp host. He's happy to coordinate hot meals for you and your companions! No more need to go into town to get a pizza or some icky fast food! We will make you a homemade pizza, dry-aged steak, brined chicken, buffalo burger, or lasagna...all in-house. Vegan, vegetarian, kosher, low-sodium, and most other dietary restrictions are no problem! We'll bake you a birthday cake, brownies, pie, or even Crème brûlée! Contact Chef Üdø for more details and please check out our menu in the “Extras” section of our campsite listing. We can make just about anything in our sanitary kitchen facilities. We cook with a spirit of Love and inclusion in our kitchen, and it shows! ❤️ Chef Üdø maintains current local food handler's certification, as well as HAACP federal certification.

Nice man, ended up not staying. He refunded most of our money. Location was too remote and environmentally not good for tent camping that night.

Honest review

My friend and I stayed here in early June. Udo seemed very nice and was super responsive to my messages when I was there. The campsite is in Udo’s backyard and was pretty much all dirt with no vegetation. It was a stunning view but was a bit dusty and when the wind blew you in turn got very dusty. It was also extremely hot which made putting up the tent or being at the campsite during the day miserable especially with no shade. The toilet was a man made composting toilet which is really cool although there were a couple bugs in there but that’s to be expected. Overall I think the campsite was overpriced for what we got. Considering there’s Aguirre Spring Campground not too far with just as amazing views and vegetation/trees, picnic tables, and pit toilets for $7.

Come for the pizza!

Come for the pizza then stay the night! Chef offered to make us a sourdough pizza as part of an add-on to our stay. The pizza was truly great. The site itself was also good and relatively private. No shade, but the dry desert wind provides a nice constant breeze. Chef is very friendly, helpful, and very communicative. This was one of the better hipcamps we have had.
